Mercer appointments target industry and public sector funds
Mercer has added to its outsourcing team with the executive appointments of Tony Winwood and Patrick Muhlen-Schulte.
Winwood will take on the role of multi-employer and stand-alone segment leader. Before moving to Mercer, he held senior management positions at JP Morgan Chase, Vanguard Investments, and the Victorian Superannuation Board.
Muhlen-Schulte has also been appointed as the outsourcing sales manager for multi-employer funds, focusing mainly on industry and public sector funds. Previously, Muhlen-Schulte was the chief of staff to the NSW Treasurer, and prior to that he held various roles in the NSW and Federal Government that dealt with unions, government agencies and the superannuation industry.
Mercer outsourcing business leader for Asia-Pacific Sandy McCarthy said the two new appointments stood Mercer in good stead when it came to the company's administration and benefits services aimed at the public sector and industry superannuation funds.
"Our recent partnership with Retirement Benefits Fund in Tasmania is testimony to the fact there is a shift towards an outsourced model in this sector. Our experience makes us an ideal partner to help these funds manage change and risk in the current environment, and help them enhance the member experience," McCarthy said.
